Shredder blade forging mainly has the following benefits:

1. Improve the strength and toughness of the blade

The forging process involves applying pressure to a metal material so that the grain structure inside is refined and optimized. In forging, the metal material under the action of high temperature and pressure, the original coarse grain will be broken, forming a finer and uniform grain structure. The refined grain structure can effectively prevent crack propagation. For example, when the blade is affected by the impact in the process of shredding hard objects, the fine grain can disperse the stress, so that the blade is not easy to break, thus improving the toughness of the blade.

At the same time, forging makes the density of the blade material more uniform. Because in the forging process, the defects such as pores and porosity in the material will be compacted under pressure, thus reducing the void inside the material. This allows the blade to transmit stress more evenly when subjected to shearing and tearing forces, and its strength is significantly improved.

2. Improve the wear resistance of the blade

By forging, the surface hardness of the blade is increased. During the forging process, the surface of the material will harden to a certain extent, because the metal atoms on the surface are arranged more closely under the action of pressure and friction. For example, for shredder blades used to shred metal scrap, in the process of frequent friction with metal scrap, the high hardness surface after forging can effectively resist wear and extend the service life of the blade.

forging also allows the blade to form a reasonable internal stress distribution. Reasonable stress distribution can make the blade in the working process, even if the surface is worn, it is not easy to appear local stress concentration and lead to rapid damage of the blade, and further enhance the wear resistance of the blade.

3. Enhance the cutting performance of the blade

The cutting edge part of the forged blade can obtain better sharpness and retention. The forging process can make the metal structure at the cutting edge more dense and the metal flow line distribution more reasonable.

When shredding materials, this reasonable metal flow line is like a pre-designed path, allowing the blade to cut into the material more smoothly. For example, when dealing with the shredding work of plastics, wood and other materials, the forged blade can tear the material more efficiently, reducing the problems such as insufficient tearing force and uneven material tearing caused by the edge of the cutting edge.
